Late night thoughts: David Attenborough is a man among men (derogatory)

I'm getting tired of the "homophobes are really just self-hating, closeted gays" trope that seems to come up everywhere. Has that happened? Absolutely. But it implies generally that gay people are responsible for their own oppression. Are straight people not homophobic? #pride #pridemonth

Transphobia has existed in few cultures. Unfortunately, one of them has been the culture that has overtaken the western world. In many others, gender-nonconforming people have been celebrated / praised / elevated. We live in one where they are demonized #trans #gender #jkrowling #transrights

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

The morridor strikes back!

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

"Gender ideology" conveniently assumes that the western imaginary of gender is natural, preeminent, intrinsic. It's not. The most powerful "gender ideology" today is the one that bifurcates sex into two unassailable, essential entities and attaches gender as a wagon to them #trans #jkrowling

The policing of gender binary differences can only lead to the very same problem modern feminism has been fighting for centuries: the constraining of what any given gender does / can / ought to do #transrights #trans #jkrowling #gender #openyourmindjoanneplease

The irony of JK decrying death-threats while implying that all trans people are rapists and even identifying specific people by name... Your integrity is gone, Joanne. Whatever you might see otherwise has to be confirmation bias if not bald bigotry #transrights #jkrowling #trans #lgbtq

-Dropped or halted investigations into 100+ corporations

-Gutted regulatory agencies and fired ethics watchdogs

-Launched a crypto coin and offered an "intimate dinner" to top buyers

-Turned the White House into a Tesla showroom to help his biggest donor

"Drain the swamp."

Oh Joanne. Take a breath, go to the park, pet a dog, throw a frisbee. You'll feel better in the morning. Many thoughts about the tirade but this stands above all others: for goodness sake please take care of yourself, J. #transrightsarehumanrights

It’s comically gendered. “don’t you worry your pretty little head about the dolls and the strollers, we’re focused on manly gasoline.”

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.”

I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia for one has never been found guilty by a court of law in the USA OR El Salvador. Why would be be imprisoned for any reason?

Barnard 68…The dark hole in the Space
It is not actually a hole but a molecular cloud that is so dark no light can pierce through it, leaving the stars and galaxies behind it invisible from our view.

Other criminals in history:

Anne Frank
Jesus
Socrates
Rosa Parks
Nelson Mandela
Many people you admire

Criminality is no indication of immorality nor is it an excuse for cruelty

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is only the most blatant detainee. Anyone taken without due process has been kidnapped / trafficked and even criminality is no excuse for torture #kilmar #kilmarabregogarcia #massdeportations #trump #retributivejustice #prisonabolition

Just found out over 90% of all stars capable of being created have already been created... Remember that the next time you look up at the night sky ✨

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
